I Forgot

Leviticus 22:31-33 says, “Keep my commands and follow them. I am the LORD. Do not profane my holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites. I am the LORD, who makes you holy and who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD.”

Observation: I think the Israelites had a memory problem at times, as I do myself. They were easy to forget what God has done for them. It seems like miracles were not enough to prove to them that He was God. So in this passage He one again reminds them of who He is. He is Lord, He is Holy, He saved them from bondage.

Application: I need to be reminded daily of what God has done in my life. There are many similarities between the Israelites and myself. I am forgetful. God can do a great work in my life, and the next day I forget. The most important work He has done is the very same He did for Israel. He says I am the Lord who makes you Holy. That is the only reason we are allowed access to Heaven. We a part from Christ in us are not Holy. But He makes us holy. He has rescued us from bondage of sin and death.

Prayer: God, don’t let me forget today what you have done for me. Thank you for making me Holy.
